Hi I live in Michigan and I have a friend who lives in Preston, England and I really want to talk to her on the phone. I first dial the 011 number and then the country code (44) and then I dial her phone number. What happens is that it will ring once and then it will go on what sounds like multiple rings at a time and their quiet and after about a minute or two, the operator will come up and say "lines are temporary busy". I was even chatting with her online when I tried calling her and she said her phone never rang. How can I call my friend living in the UK? Did I do something wrong when dialing the number? The number I am calling is a mobile too and I am calling from my home phone. Thank you in advance for your help.

I just tried that and the operator immediately came on and said "Were sorry the number you are trying to reach is invalid 0101". I am calling her mobile phone. The closest I got was when I tried it without the 1772.
